## NAME

         unshar - Remove files from a shell archive

## SYNOPSIS

         unshar [-btvx] sharfile member ...

## OPTIONS

         -b   Unshar brutally, overwriting files if need be

         -t   Tell what is in the archive but do not extract

         -v   Verbose mode

         -x   Extract only the members listed

## EXAMPLES

         unshar arch.sh      # Extract all members of the archive

         unshar -t arch.sh   # List the contents of the archive

         unshar -xf1 -xf2 arch.sh
                             # Extract f1 and f2 from arch.sh

         uniq -d inf outf    # Write duplicate lines to outf

## DESCRIPTION

         Unshar extracts members of a shell archive, the same as sh,  except  much
         faster.   It  expects  shell  archives  created  with  shar.  It also has
         options to list the contents of  a  shell  archive,  and  to  selectively
         extract some members but not all.
